    Default Orange spider

    We've seen this spider for the past 2 weeks at night only. It makes a
    beautiful web nightly, but is gone once the sun comes up.

    Tried to find it online & finally found an email for Dr. Rovner who told me this...

    It's called the tropical orbweaver, Eriophora ravilla.

    Read about it at:
    http://creatures.ifas.ufl.edu/misc/spiders/tropical_orb_weaver.htm

    I love nature & all it has to offer, but looking at 100 pages of spider pictures has made me quite nauseous...........
